The UAE is expanding its media industry globally, showcasing its growing expertise. According to Arabian Business, UAE-based companies are now exporting not only capital but also brands, intellectual property, and business expertise overseas.

International visitor spending in the Middle East is expected to increase by $116 billion between 2025 and 2030.
